I injured my lower back with one loud crack and could barely walk. In this video I share what happened, my physiotherapy appointment in Siem Reap, Cambodia, my diagnosis, and my recovery after a sudden back injury.
A simple household task turned into one of the most painful experiences I've ever had. One loud crack in my lower back stopped me in my tracks, and I honestly wasn't sure how serious the injury was.
In this update, I take you through:
✔️ How the injury happened
✔️ My symptoms after the loud crack
✔️ Visiting a physiotherapist in Cambodia
✔️ The treatment I received
✔️ My recovery progress over the first few days
If you've ever suffered a lower back injury, back spasm, SI joint pain, or sudden back pain, I'd love to hear your experience in the comments.

My Birthday Catch Up in Siem Reap Cambodia [School Volunteer]
Well another birthday has arrived for Nan and this year Im in the beautiful Siem Reap Cambodia. So its time to reflect on things and share so updates with you. I have hook line and sinker fallen in love with Siem Reap, It really has taken me by surprise. i thought I would be here for a maximum of a week and here I am 6 weeks later! I volunteered in a local school the children were amazing (oh I miss my grandchildren) so clever so friendly and their smiles are contagious. I have also made some wonderful new friends and visited some stunning temples. I am definitely under Cambodias spell. I have decided that if I can I will head back for a longer visit soon.
Thank you for watching Im really looking forward to my birthday today.

![Still Backpacking or Did I Settle Down?
I didn’t plan to stay in Cambodia… I came for a month.
That was it. No long-term plans, no intention of stopping, no idea I’d end up building a life here.
But something about Cambodia completely caught me off guard.
In this video, I’m sitting down for a proper, honest chat about how my travels have changed, why I chose to base myself in Siem Reap, and what that actually means for my life now.
Am I still travelling?
Or have I settled down?
The truth is… it’s somewhere in between.
I talk about:
What I expected vs what I actually found in Cambodia
How Cambodia became my home base
Why having a base has changed the way I travel
The reality of slowing down after years on the move
And why I still have that pull to explore
Getting to grips with the local money and how it all works
This isn’t a polished travel vlog, just a real catch-up about where I’m at right now.
🌏 Join me in India this November!
I’ll be heading back to India and hosting a small group trip. If you’d love to experience it with me, you can find all the details here:

If you enjoy honest travel, real life on the road, and figuring it all out as you go… you’re in the right place 💛
